Thanks for allowing this clarification to my original post.
The reason why you are getting answers about inter compatibility of Campagnolo parts is that you asked about buying an Athena 11 speed group, including brakes which would not be needed if you already have a set of brake callipers with your 10 speed parts. The reason I asked about listing all the components you have on hand is that soemone here might suggest a good solution that would allow you to use more of the parts you have on hand at less cost to you, a solution that you couldn't have thought of. The fact that you asked whether a SRAM 10 speed chain would work on the pulleys of a Campagnolo 10 speed derailleur is a warning flag. A 10 speed chain of any brand will work on any 10 speed drivetrain regardless of brand. That you didn't seem to know this indicates that you probably haven't considered everything. Campagnolo 10 speed derailleurs and shifters are not compatible with a SRAM or Shimano 10 speed cassette.Not knowing what wheels you are working with makes it impossible to tell you what cassettes you can use. If you don't want to buy parts you can't use, list all the parts you have now so that people can look at the list and find you a solution
